Straight Man elected as Labour LGBT Officer 😂

[CaveMum]

Oh the irony! Watch the woke folk implode with self-righteous indignation!

Karma?

How bigoted of Rohit to not acknowledge his own cis LGBT+ privilege in the face of this poor person's trans-LGBT oppression

Wow look at all the transphobes on twitter assuming the gender identity of the successful candidate based on their (would hate to misgender) appearance. Isn't that literal violence?

It's almost as if they think biological sex is binary and in most cases obvious.........

Spinster he may identify as agender and have no words to describe it. :)

"How does Rohit know that he's straight, then? Or, indeed, a man?"

Can you imagine if the successful candidate did now identify as a woman? And frankly there's nothing stopping him of course.

And Rohit has just called her a man? And misgendered her repeatedly?

Well yes, he could be gay or trans or bi, but not yet able to speak about his identification. He needs love and support, not this hideous opposition because of how he currently presents.
He will blossom like a beauuuutiful butterfly in the right, nurturing environment. Come on Rohit, show him some tlc.

Have we seen this tweet? Man comparing this with the notion of a man being a woman's officer - but his own Twitter feed shows he's fine with self ID. Berk.

Schadenfreude is underrated. It goes down very nicely with espresso and dark chocolate.

But let me have the schadenfreude! It's the only thing keeping me sane!

oh go on then

i'm just in a grump, and have been since it became apparent to me that Boris Fucking Johnson will be the next prime minister of the united kingdom, with no effective opposition

Bernard, I do feel like we are just watching civilisation eat itself now.

I'd rather give in to schadenfreude than be permanently angry. It's all we have at the moment.

'Str8 white man' What's this person's colour got to do with it as well? How does he know this person is a 'man'.

Homophobia seems only to apply to males, obviously, within the Labour Party.

And yes, be careful what you wish for.

Solidarity, my arse!

Shit like this is why satire is dead.

Stella Creasey - shame on you and the whole Labour Party.

"My heart goes out to you" and "here's my email address" !

That's it Stella - pander to the men again. Shoved women under the bus though, didn't you?

What's this person's colour got to do with it as well?

Exactly. If he was gay, but white, would Rohit still have a problem?? Race has nothing to do with this role and it’s frankly appalling he’s allowed to say that.

I find it interesting how some of his supporters on twitter are complaining about people mentioning 'trans people' in women's posts and not 'transwomen'.

It's one thing being a massive hypocrite, it's another thing when you can see that they know it and are trying to obfuscate.

Sorry that makes no sense.

I blame having to rewrite a post to avoid falling foul of the monitors [waves]

Give this allegedly straight man a medal. Anyone taking bets as to how long before he is ousted by the sanctimonious hypocrites?

I completely agree that those roles should be for representation of the groups they're intended for. So there shouldn't be a heterosexual person in an LGBTQ+ role.

BUT... T isn't the same thing as sexual orientation. And Q means all sorts, much of which has little to do with sexual orientation. And if you're Bi but have been in an opposite sex marriage for 20-odd years, can you still represent the L & G, or should you step aside for someone who's outwardly in a same sex relationship?

Honestly, the expansion of the Stonewall umbrella has really confused the hell out of things. At this rate, they're literally representing anyone who feels like a bit of an outsider for some sexually-related reason, regardless of how they'd be viewed by others.

Ha, I was blocked by Shamir Shami for asking why women didn't deserve equality in response to his tweet saying TWAW etc and I've seen he's retweeted Rohit.

Is this person definitely not LGBTQI+ or is Rohit just claiming so because he’s pissed off at losing?

Having read both speeches/statements, only Rohit’s opponent seems to have a decent grasp of the actual boring grunt work that comes with a CLP Officer role, not surprised they were elected 🤷‍♀️

Surely the guy just needs to identify as a woman and that will make him a lesbian in the same way that LM is a lesbian. Problem solved. She will still be white though, so perhaps she could push the boundaries and identify out of that too.

He's probably gender-fluid.

He was a woman last night for a couple of hours and then a man again now.

Works for Philip Bunce.

Just being a part-time crossdresser would get a person under the T umbrella - no need to ‘identify’, just be in ‘girlmode/en femme’ the last Friday of the month.

Look at Eddie Izzard. All he does is paint his nails and wear a beret, and he seems to think that’s enough to be eligible for an AWS.

(presumably his gas bill still reads Eddie?)

Stella Creasy is, rightly, getting a pasting on Twitter for offering her support and to take the matter further.
